Hello!!

[Linda]

Oh dear!!

I have just realised I deleted me from the intros! :oops:

I am Linda and found the Minack Chronicles completely by chance in the library when I needed to read something to pick me up out of the doldrums of work! Have since read all of Derek's books and love everyone of them. Dreamt of a life like theirs and set off on a quest to find it(took ten years in the searching!). Sadly, it didn't end, as I had originally hoped, in Cornwall...however, I am far away from the madding crowds on an island off the Scottish coast...Isle of Arran. Living on a farm with the nearest neighbours and road half a mile away, with a 'winding lane' to the farmhouse. No, its not way up north, we are in fact just 30 miles away from Glasgow,(after a ferry ride)...so I can get my 'shopping injection' once in a while! :lol:

I met Jeff, my husband, via the internet, and we married after a month after our first email. We have now been married nearly seven years.

I used to visit Derek several times a year when I lived in Sussex but have not been back to Minack since 2000. Much to my regret! I do so need to visit...maybe one day when we can sort out all the animals etc.

Please, although I am the moderator for the site, its really more to deal with any nasties that could turn up, other than that I am a huge admirer and dedicated fan of Derek and Jeannie and love talking and listening about Minack and what people think and feel about how its affected their lives.

Linda and Jeff

Hello Linda,

I know it can easily happen to delete something erroneously if working with computers - so, nice to have all your details again.

I notice the 'Related Minack Books/Resources' Section has also disappeared - erroneously or done on purpose?

Hi Sybille, yes! ...must have been one of those ever increasing senior moments!
:D

I am afraid I did delete the Resources topic as I noticed that it didn't seem to be a useful addition, we can always bring one back if everyone wants such a topic. Like everything on the forum we can try things out and see what works best and what doesn't. I know you did contribute to it but there is still the topic under General discussion so details can be posted there and I think yours are under this one. It just appeared that a special section wasn't needed at this stage.

:)

I was hoping you might agree to copies of the photos being displayed they are such a treasure trove! Thank You!

Best wishes
Linda
